Surprisingly I find myself thinking about how they initially became interested in painting and how I became an artist. I say surprising because it was never really meant to be, at least, never in my dreams! However, after the fall of 1988, he continued to make my life with my art, even if I did not get off to the best start by my lack of 11 +. The Manchester attended primary school and my interest in promoting self-esteem flag, which offered me a place in art school.

This was, however, was rejected by my parents for all sorts of practical and logistical reasons, and without creative or artistic family background was quickly decided that education is more conventional for me. What I have is anything but!

The school was boring, with the exception of art, which I have highlighted, and is expected to master the art. He highlighted the talent of each year, and ensures that the lessons we have received more in the art that the 'brain' children who study more of the 3 R's. Thus, it appears that I am a product of my poor education and I must say it has no other way!

Gleaming little I left school at age 15 without formal qualifications, it has failed to set an examination, something unthinkable today. I took a job as a photographer's assistant and thought the position was very brief, however, the seed was sewing and photography has been of great interest to me since then. It has taught me a lot about the composition and use of light and color to create a nice image invaluable in my work as a painter. My pictures are my sketchpad and are a constant source of reference.

My interest in art was renewed in late 1979, when it bought a small box of watercolors, and what began as a hobby became my passion. Perhaps because the route he took was a little, but I am still uncomfortable with the title 'Artist'. I am rather as a painter and / or aquarellist.

My main outlets for my earlier work at local art centers and major craft fairs. I have also had a number of one man shows over the past 20 years.

In 1992 I opened my own art gallery, but after six wonderful years I have found that my painting time is becoming increasingly less. I place was occupied by the day-to-day operation of the gallery. So, in 1998 I decided to go back to painting full-time it was a big decision for me, having grown accustomed to the steady income from the gallery. However, the painting is, and always will be, my passion and it was not long before the commissions began to roll again. Established local outlets continue to adorn the walls with my work, for which I am eternally grateful. show less
